Scoring BIG swell in Punta Roca! El Salvador (5 July)

[@OD99C]

God bless you, no one ever mentions God in surf culture anymore, besides Beth Hamilton I think.

[@pineapplesurf]

@@OD99C thanks man amen 🙏🏻. Beth was for me a true example to follow, her solid relationship with God, besides all what happened, still a strong mother. She believes in Jesus

[@OD99C]

@@pineapplesurf Amen!!!

Shame to see it so crowded these days. Instagram, internet and the WSL have sure had a big effect. Have fond memories of living and surfing there at Pinta Roca staying in Don carlos' place with just a couple of visiting Yanks and locals after the civil war in '91. Hope all the young guys who were just kids back then are well - Rigoberto, Hari, Carlos, Ricardo with his resto on the point, Christian and our favourite little Walter with his peace sign necklace. Best of times recalled in waves like these with nearly no one around.

[@pineapplesurf]

Those moments i can truly say are golden ages, because a unique experience in the wild Punta roca, the village of puerto la libertad with tons of trees around, no pollution, and empty waves as you said. I believe the people that you mentioned are well. Who is Ricardo, maybe i recognize him with the surname. However, today is still a good vibe and safe place, unlike in 2002-2015 that wasn’t safe. Is true that the wsl play a significant roll in the mew tourism in this country. Be well my friend. I respect you.

Wow! Brother- well done. Love the Vibes and Stoke for Sure 👍 Waves look flawless, I’m heading over there soon I hope.

[@pineapplesurf]

@@Live2Surf thanks man appreciate🙏🏻. Astounding days, after a huge storm, the water was so black and no surf, no sun, but still hot weather haha. But this day was after all that and enjoyed really well. 😌

[@MK-su6eg]

Locals got it going on! Aloha from westside Oahu Hawaii!

[@esmecastellanos]

Nice drone shots 🔥 this one was a kinda big wave swell in my opinion

[@pineapplesurf]

@@esmecastellanos yeah report said 12 feet, it was huge, even though is the dron videos seems quite smaller

[@pineapplesurf]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@PianoFAB95]

Thx for sharing ! Cya in Hossegor 😊

[@bombthechaos3916]

I don’t think there's a better way to show the thrill of surfing than with a drone.

[@pineapplesurf]

@@bombthechaos3916 i think the same. I like recording non-aerial footage, but the drone video is significant for me and i like it. Thanks for commenting man 🤙🏽 see ya

[@edwardquinn1726]

Buena ola ❤

[@peacepuffz]

Pumping!

[@powerlooper9121]

These waves look like so much fun. But even in a remote location, surfers with leashes can just crowd the impact zone, so it turns into a slalom contest. I'm so glad I invented a better alternative to this.

[@pineapplesurf]

@@powerlooper9121 true mate, very true. Sometimes is sad to think about that. But I wonder what alternative did you innovate.

[@zaraedwards3355]

Why don’t these drone flyers get closer to the water. High angles are ok, but you can’t see the true, steepness etc. size of the waves.

[@pineapplesurf]

@@zaraedwards3355 hey man, sorry about that. Some friend of me local guy was recording for me. He lost many drons because trying to get footage really close,😳. At the end of the video is a wave that i recorded with my phone, the size in non aerial footage

[@JayTeeRrr]

Was that an actual Jimmy Hogan sighting around 4:15?

[@pineapplesurf]

@@JayTeeRrr yea! Is the great Hogan. 🤙🏽. “Gotta live it to know it” -J-H

Nice olas 🌊

@@nelsonhernandez9226 thanks amigo🙌🏻

[@evresort]

Anyone get sick from all that dirty sewage water?

[@esmeraldagomezsoto6046]

😂

[@pineapplesurf]

@@evresort yeah man, it can happen, not that day of the video, but previous days it was really dirty

[@amys-w1785]

1st rains of the season wash everything thats been dumped in the river for the dry season around the point, be careful with your ears and cuts from the rocks.

[@pineapplesurf]

@@amys-w1785 yeah, for example when i was surfing in France, there was lot of rain after the summer, so, the lifeguards advised us to get out of the water because it was terrible dirty, like you said with the rivers. I have a video about that. An absorbing moment

[@esmecastellanos]

Sad but true
